CADILLAC, MI — A man convicted of leading a heroin trafficking enterprise has been sentenced to at least six years in prison.

Detroit resident Jeremy William Bowens, 22, was found guilty of two counts of conspiracy to deliver heroin last month and this week was ordered to serve between 80 months and 40 years behind bards for the drug dealing.

Bowen was reportedly a leader in trafficking the narcotic to the Cadillac area, bringing heroin from Detroit and Ohio to various locations in Wexford County with several other co-conspirators.

Authorities said Bowens and his co-conspirators carried between 40-50 grams of heroin at a time, and the drug was then broken down into smaller packages and resold for about $20 each in residential areas of Cadillac and other parts of Wexford County, according to a press release from the Traverse Area Narcotics Team.

Testimony in Bowen's case indicated about $7,000 to $8,000 worth of heroin per week was being sold in Wexford County over a period of two years, officials said.

The investigation into the delivery conspiracy is ongoing, and the narcotics team anticipates additional charges.
